I seek to establish a collaborative working relationship with my clients. I believe it’s important to listen to the needs of the individual and recognize that each client’s treatment may be different. While it is important and often critical that clients gain control over their disordered eating, effective psychotherapy can offer more than a behavioral regime which provides some relief from symptoms.

In my view, treatment should be designed to enable each client to gain insight and understanding into the painful feelings in order to construct more adaptive coping mechanisms and a healthier lifestyle. I use all my experience and training, both cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic, theoretical and practical, to construct this individualized treatment program with everyone in my practice.
